We are new to raising chickens and have found we have a similar problem....our 5 month old blue cochin doesn't look or act sick but when we pick him up is extremly thin...can feel his breast bones and no meat on him (sorry I don't know all of the correct terms). I am curious how this turned out...

I just love cochins!!! I have 10 bantam buff cochins, some male some female, they are only 5 weeks old.
We are new to raising chickens and received these two bantam buff cochins for my daughter's 4-H project. Not sure if they are boys or girls and thought you or someone...
We have two Buff Cochins. I'm pretty sure Sunny is a girl but are unsure of what Honeymustard is... Please Help!
Sunny - Girl?
Honeymustard - Boy or Girl?

Thanks for the information! Thanks to the internet and BYC I've been looking at a as many pictures as I can to try and figure out what they are. As a newbie to chicken raising I am very surprised how hard it is to know if you have a boy or girl...it is kind of fun to learn about all...

Here is a couple of pictures of our Cochins. They are 3 months old and I am assuming they are Bantams. I need to know for our 4-H entry form. Also if you know what color they are called, I'd appreciate the information!
Not sure if the buff colored ones are he or she? Is this...

Could that be why she is getting "picked on"? She is getting a bald spot on the back of the head. Not sure who is doing it to her. Do we need to seperate them? If so by breed or boy/girl?
Thank you Southerbelle! I missed those inserting picture directions somewhere.
I think the white polish is a roo, the Buff (is this the right color name?) is pullet and the black/white polish is pullet also
These are the two roosters, I think. Is the Cochin (Pepper) color blue?
Is Sunny...

What is the difference between bantams and standards...we have some we got for 4-H and probably need to know...I assumed ours were bantam as they look the same as the ones posted at the top of this thread.
We are new to raising chickens. Need to know if these are boys or girls for 4-H and also if there is a certain name for their color. Thanks for any help!
I had some help from Southernbelle and posted the pictures a little further down in this thread.
Thanks!!!!
